I tried one on a back wheel this year - Ball ache to fit unless you have a tool and a mate.
I will wait for a year or two before trying another - I do dry trails and road mainly.
On a hot day it was ok until the tyre got ride hot then it seemed very heavy.
Im a big fat git and use 32 or 35 but this was a 32 from memory. Tann or green or something like that
Manhole covers or white lines not wet, damp or even first thing in the morning were a definite no no - nearly went A over T a couple of times on a very very slight turn - glad I didn't try the front wheel.
Back to my Conti sport contacts................... for years these have been tyre of choice for me.
As for ebay cheapies I have never seen them - is it for a commuter ?
My london bike always has Marathon 32's
